We embarked on a study to find out how dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) could help children suffering from atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema. In a randomized triple-blind clinical trial, 48 children with this condition were divided into two groups—one received 250 mg of EPA twice daily, while the other received a placebo for four weeks.
Our observations showed noticeable improvements in those who took EPA. After just two weeks, participants in the EPA group reported a reduction in their SCORAD scores, which are used to measure the severity of atopic dermatitis. The scores went down significantly compared to the placebo group. After four weeks, the number of children needing corticosteroids to manage their symptoms was also lower in the EPA group.
Despite these positive results, both groups reported few adverse effects, indicating that EPA supplementation is generally well-received. Overall, we conclude that adding EPA to the diet may be an effective and safe strategy for reducing eczema severity in children.

In a controlled trial, we assessed how docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—an omega-3 fatty acid—affects atopic eczema. Fifty-three patients, aged 18 to 40, were randomly assigned to receive either 5.4 grams of DHA daily or an isoenergetic control comprising saturated fatty acids for eight weeks. This double-blind setup helped ensure that neither the participants nor the researchers knew who received which treatment, thereby reducing bias in the results.
Throughout the study, we measured the severity of eczema using the SCORAD index at multiple intervals. Our findings showed that DHA supplementation led to a notable improvement in eczema symptoms, with patients experiencing a significant decrease in their SCORAD scores. This contrasted with the control group, which did not show similar improvements. Notably, we also found that DHA reduced certain immune responses linked to eczema, indicating its potential role in managing this condition.
Given these encouraging results, it appears that DHA could be an effective dietary addition for people suffering from atopic eczema. However, further research with a larger participant pool is necessary to confirm these findings and fully understand the benefits of DHA on this skin condition.

We examined how dietary factors, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), influence the prevalence of atopic eczema among pregnant Japanese females. In a study involving 1,002 participants, we gathered data through a detailed diet history questionnaire, focusing on their intake of various fatty acids and the occurrence of atopic eczema.
Our findings revealed that DHA intake was significantly linked to a reduced rate of atopic eczema both currently and after the age of 18. However, we did not find consistent evidence supporting the idea that n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as total fat and other types of dietary fat, had a meaningful effect on eczema.
While the study encourages the inclusion of DHA in the diet during pregnancy, it also highlights the complexity of dietary impacts on allergic conditions like eczema. Overall, we observed a noteworthy association between higher DHA intake and lower prevalence rates of eczema in this group, suggesting that it could be a beneficial addition to the diets of pregnant women.

We examined the relationship between maternal polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) during pregnancy and the risk of allergies, including eczema, in their children within the first two years of life.
In our study with 573 mother-infant pairs, we found that higher levels of certain fatty acids, especially arachidonic acid and omega-3 PUFA, were associated with a reduced risk of allergies in children.
This trend was notably stronger for children whose mothers had a history of allergies. Overall, our research suggests that maternal PUFA intake might play a protective role against eczema and other allergic conditions.

EPA-E improves eczema-like symptoms
We explored how eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA-E), a component of omega-3 fish oil, affects atopic dermatitis-like symptoms in mice. This study showed that EPA-E could improve skin barrier issues and reduce itching in mice with conditions similar to human eczema.
We observed that the treatment helped restore important lipids in the skin, known as ceramides. These results suggest that EPA-E may offer a promising approach to treat eczema in people, but further testing is needed.

We investigated how fish consumption during pregnancy and infancy influences allergic conditions in children. Our analysis included a range of studies, revealing that while mothers eating fish during pregnancy didn't seem to lower allergy risks, infants consuming fish in their first year notably reduced eczema occurrences.
Specifically, we found a reduced risk of eczema and allergic rhinitis in those who consumed fish early in life. This indicates that introducing fish to infants' diets may offer important allergy protection.
Overall, while maternal intake showed no significant benefits, early fish consumption appears promising for reducing eczema.

We investigated how oral fatty acids and carbohydrates influence eczema symptoms. In a pilot study with OVA-sensitized mice, those fed a diet rich in arachidonic acid/docosahexaenoic acid (AA/DHA) and galactooligosaccharides/polydextrose (GOS/PDX) showed pronounced skin improvement.
The mice demonstrated reduced skin inflammation and improved skin barrier function. Specifically, the combination of AA/DHA and GOS/PDX yielded the most benefits. These findings suggest dietary additions may effectively support humans dealing with atopic eczema.

We investigated the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, on the incidence of eczema in infants. Our study involved 145 pregnant women who had allergies or family histories of allergies. They participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial where some received daily supplements of DHA during pregnancy and breastfeeding, while others received a placebo.
We found that infants whose mothers took DHA experienced a lower prevalence of eczema related to immunoglobulin E (IgE). Specifically, only 8% of infants in the DHA group developed IgE-associated eczema compared to a concerning 24% in the placebo group, marking a significant difference.
This suggests that maternal omega-3 supplementation, particularly with DHA, could play a beneficial role in reducing the risk of eczema in infants with a family history of allergies. Thus, incorporating omega-3 fatty acids in a mother’s diet during pregnancy and lactation may be a simple yet effective strategy to help protect babies from developing eczema.

We examined the effects of dietary fish on the risk of eczema and other allergic diseases in children. Using data from a study in Trondheim, we found that children who ate fish at least once a week during their first year had a 28-34% lower chance of developing eczema, asthma, and wheeze by age six.
While cod liver oil showed potential benefits, the strongest results came from regular fish consumption. Surprisingly, we didn’t see any clear impacts related to mothers’ fish intake during pregnancy or nursing.

We explored the connection between fish consumption and eczema in Japanese school-aged children, comparing 135 students with eczema to healthy peers. Through questionnaires and blood tests, we assessed dietary habits and levels of specific fatty acids in the blood.
Our findings indicated that eating fatty and dried fish was linked to a lower prevalence of eczema. Notably, higher levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) were also associated with reduced eczema symptoms.
However, no significant effect on asthma was observed. These results suggest that increasing fish intake may be beneficial for eczema in kids.

We explored whether omega-3 fish oil supplementation during pregnancy impacts eczema risk in children. By reviewing six randomized controlled trials, involving over 1,600 mother-infant pairs, we found no overall decrease in eczema incidence linked to omega-3 intake.
However, a closer look at younger children showed a significant reduction in IgE-associated eczema in those three years old or younger. This indicates that while prenatal omega-3 may not benefit all, it might help reduce specific types of eczema in early childhood.

We examined the effects of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) during pregnancy to see if it helps lower the risk of childhood allergic diseases, including eczema.
Research shows that mothers taking these supplements during pregnancy may give birth to fewer children with atopic eczema, especially in those at high risk for allergies.
However, studies focusing solely on postnatal supplementation had mixed outcomes—some found no significant benefits.
Overall, it seems that using omega-3 supplements before allergies manifest could be beneficial, but more research is needed to determine the best timing and long-term effects.
